Henderson Sands : (Large Print Edition)

Description

Henderson Sands (Large Print Edition) ... Since childhood, Harriet Henderson, a New York waitress, remembers fearing and disliking the opposite sex. Recurring nightmares haunt her anytime she comes close to becoming involved with a man. With Val (Thorvald) Sands, the nightmares have not come, not yet, possibly because she finds him the most intense, most handsome, vital man she has ever met. Undeniably he holds a strange fascination for her. But as for seriously considering the endearments he lavishes upon her each evening while they stroll the decks of the ocean liner cruising the Mediterranean, she accepts his smooth words with a grain of salt. A shipboard romance. Once the ship docks in New York, she will never want to see him again. Then fate steps in, and Harriet finds herself stranded alone with Val on an exotic Mediterranean island. They nickname the island, Henderson Sands ... Besides saving her life, Val proves himself an excellent hunter and ingenious trapper, building his own weapons and tools from nature's own resources. On the ship he seemed human; on the island he is a gentleman's version of a Viking warrior. He appears to be enjoying himself, tackling with gusto the task of creating a habitable dwelling for them. Harriet cannot deny her attraction, yet how can she permit herself to find him devastatingly appealing? Isn't he like most men, fundamentally interested in - she refuses to think further. And then the nightmares return ... This story appeared in the novel "Roses in the Dark" by the same author, as part of four interwoven romances.show more
